Several recent studies have suggested that people who suffer from
abnormally high blood pressure can benefit from regular exercise. A medical
researcher decides to test her belief that walking briskly for at least half an
hour a day has the effect of lowering blood pressure. She conducts a small
pilot study. If results from it are supportive, she will apply for funding for a
larger study. She randomly samples three of her patients who have high blood
pressure. She measures their systolic blood pressure initially and then again a
month later after they participate in her exercise program. The table shows
the results.
